    Hello Gunter Danzeisen 

    you cannot exclude the account from the policy. 

    On the other hand, I always suggest other ways to bypass the MFA.

    one way is to create a trusted location in conditional access or just add the trusted IPs at the Office 365 MFA page. Then create a rule for this account to exclude MFA on trusted locations.

    An other way is to create a "back door" account, as Dr Nestori suggests : http://o365blog.com/post/aadbackdoor/
